According to the developer's official Twitter feed, the game will also have nothing to do with Microsoft, State of Decay's publisher. This is particularly interesting, considering Undead signed a multi-year extension of its contract with the publisher at the beginning of the year.

"We'll be able to share details later this year, but as with State of Decay, we think it's best if we just keep our heads down and build some prototypes before we talk too much," founder Jeff Strain said of the new deal on Undead's blog back in January. "For now, suffice it to say there are big things going on with State of Decay."
